Textbook Services

Foothill's EOPS program can pay the full cost of required textbooks for your classes. To qualify for the book voucher, you must be in good standing with EOPS and meet specific conditions each quarter.

Once we verify that you are in good standing, we will send you the Book Service Agreement form. After you agree to the conditions and limitations and submit the form, we will ask the Foothill Bookstore to issue your EOPS voucher.

Book Service Agreement Conditions & Limitations

Unit Requirement

You must be officially enrolled in at least 12 units (6 units for the summer quarter) to receive books for the entire quarter. Limited waivers for part-time students are determined on an individual basis.
Issuance Window

Books will not be issued after the book issuance period has ended.

Covered Materials

Vouchers cover required textbooks for approved courses only. They do not cover required supplies or optional/recommended textbooks.

Off-Campus Purchases

If you purchase textbooks outside the Foothill Bookstore, you must submit a reimbursement request along with your course syllabus and receipt.

Note: Off-campus purchases are not guaranteed to be reimbursed.

Course Changes

Books will not be provided for repeated, dropped, or withdrawn courses (canceled courses are exempt) or for schedule changes.

Series Courses

EOPS does not provide duplicate books for courses within a sequential series (e.g., Math 1A, Math 1B, Math 1C, Math 1D).

Ownership

All issued books remain your property.

Quarterly Requirement

You must submit a signed Book Service Agreement every quarter before receiving your books from EOPS.
